Best back-to-school uniform savings as Tesco F&F announces big sale information
They might only just be breaking up from school for the summer, but it's never too early to start getting prepared for their first term back in a new school year. Rather than leaving it to a last minute scramble around the shops in September, now is a great time to stock up on their uniform essentials so you don't need to worry about it for the rest of the holidays.
So to help you save money, we've rounded up some of the most affordable places to pick up school uniforms this summer, including a limited time offer from F&F at Tesco which lets you save even more.
F&F at Tesco
One reason now is the perfect time to order their new term uniforms is thanks to Tesco's F&F, which has just launched a huge 25% off sale for a limited time. Running until Sunday July 27, Clubcard holders can take advantage of the offer both in store and – for the first time ever – online, too.
The sale includes staples like shirts, trousers, jumpers and dresses, down to those often-forgotten items like socks and tights. You can even pick up new school shoes in the sale.
TU Clothing at Sainsbury's
Sticking to supermarket saviours, TU at Sainsbury's is another great place to pick up affordable school uniforms. Whilst it's not running a sale right now, the prices of its back to school range are locked for the third year in a row, so you'll still be paying the same prices that you did back in 2022.
All of TU's uniforms have been carefully created to be as durable and long lasting as possible (because it's inevitable that little ones are going to get a little grubby at some point). The fabrics come with reinforced knees to prevent rips and tears, scuff-resistant coatings on shoes, and promise to maintain witness and colour brightness for at least 20 washes.
George at ASDA
George at ASDA is another great place for affordable school uniforms, and they cater for all stages of school life from primary school up to sixth form. Plus, they have a whole range of 'Easy on, easy wear' pieces that have been designed with features like easy-fastening hook and loops to support independent dressing and sensory needs, keeping them happy and comfortable all day long.
Marks & Spencer
M&S has had its school uniform prices locked since 2021, which means you'll be getting a great deal on all of its back to school essentials. Items have been designed and treated to be easy to iron, weatherproof and stain resistant, not to mention they're adjustable so they can grow with your kids throughout the school year.
Trousers have an adjustable waistband for added comfort which can be extended to accommodate growth spurts. They're also cut with regular, straight legs and grow-proof hems that can be let down by an extra 3cm to ensure they last all year.
If you want to really stock up on your kids uniform essentials, Next's multipacks are perfect for making sure you've always got a spare shirt or skirt ready to go so you don't need to be constantly running a wash cycle. You can pick up a five pack of short sleeve shirts for £23-£37, which works out at just £4.60 per shirt.
You can also pick up some new school shoes, as well as uniforms to suit all seasons and rules. From boys shorts and trousers, to girls trousers, skirts and dresses, short and long sleeved shirts, and sweatshirts and cardigans.

Lidl shoppers spot dog playing a piano in supermarket logo
The supermarket is a popular place to grab bargains with everything from typical groceries to more adventurous middle aisle finds. But, even the keenest of shoppers are only just noticing the hidden animal in the supermarket's logo. Have you seen it? TikTok user @skintdad has pointed out that 'when you see it, you can't unsee it'. The Lidl logo seems pretty straightforward with the name of the supermarket's name colourfully displayed inside a circle but shoppers think there's more to it. In the video shared by @skintdad, the user zooms in on the Lidl logo while explaining: 'The Lidl sign is a dog playing a piano.' Viewers commented their thoughts on the video with one joking: 'It's just a lidl dog'. Someone else said: 'I can see it 🤣'. This person said they understood: 'I can see it the red letter is the dog and The first L is the piano'. Another viewer offered an alternative for the slanted I in the logo: 'It's a chair, balancing a ball'. This TikTok user said: 'no wonder why lidl ad plays a piano tune at the end!😂' Newsquest has contacted Lidl for comment. In April this year, Lidl revealed plans to invest £500 million as the discount supermarket chain accelerates its expansion across the UK. The German-owned chain is pushing forward with plans to open more than 40 new stores in the current financial year.

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda prices to skyrocket, experts say
The Autonomy Institute think tank said that climate-induced price increases for everyday food items could push almost 1 million people into poverty. The UK is at particular risk thanks to heatwaves and droughts. Under a high-emission 'worst-case' scenario, food prices could rise by 34%, the study found. Just me and mother in the house, neither of us have particularly expensive tastes but I've just been to Tesco's and managed to spend £99 on the weekly shop (£113 before Clubcard prices and vouchers taken off). It's quite scary how expensive things have become now. — Pete Hind (@toonpete85) July 18, 2025 Under a 'best-case' scenario, the cumulative food price inflation could still reach 25% by 2050. Heatwaves in the UK could cost an average household between £917 and £1,247 by 2050, it added. It comes after the UK's leading retailers like Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons have warned over the changing landscape of the retail industry owing to the searing and scorching heatwaves the UK has experienced. Will Stronge, the chief executive of the Autonomy Institute, said the UK could look at introducing 'buffer stocks'. 'Climateflation is no longer a distant risk; it's a present reality,' Stronge told the Guardian. Recommended reading: 'We need to build real economic resilience – and that means rethinking what public service provision can and should provide in the face of climate disruption: from delivery of basic essentials to publicly funded diners and a national buffer stock.' The British Retail Consortium (BRC) said rising fruit and vegetable prices had contributed to a jump in food price inflation in June. Helen Dickinson, the BRC chief executive, said: 'Retailers have warned of higher prices for consumers since last year's autumn budget and the huge rises to employer national insurance costs and the national living wage. 'We predicted a significant rise in food inflation by the end of this year, and this has been accelerated by geopolitical tensions and impacts of climate change.'
